Description

Calls the Linux prctl system interface from Python. It lets programs adjust process-level behavior such as names, capabilities-related settings, death signals, and other kernel-managed process attributes.

This is low-level system functionality. Incorrect use can affect process isolation, privileges, signal behavior, or debugging, so it is intended for developers who understand Linux process control.
